Okay well I was banded twice. The first time a leak. The second time a kneek in the line. Found a new Dr. To do my sleeve. My 2 hour surgery turned into a 5 hr surgery. Slow recovery. Feeling a whole lot better. I started out at 225 on my first band. When I got my sleeve I weighed 200. I'm down only 20 lbs. Really going slow. Had my sleeve done May 22,12. I need to start walking maybe that would help. I'm so glad I found this sight. I think it will help me.
